摘要
This is a theory for the effect of localization on the super-Poissonian noise of radiation propagating through an absorbing disordered waveguide. Localization suppresses both the mean photon current (I) over bar and the noise power P, but the Fano factor P/(I) over bar is found to remain unaffected. For strong absorption the Fano factor has the universal value 1 + 3/2 f (with f the Bose-Einstein function), regardless of whether the waveguide is long or short compared to the localization length.
